The Daily Life Of A Cyberpunk Magician

Chapter 599 - 306: The Darkest Day of Chris’s Life
”It’s done.” Liu Tingruo quickly pressed the Enter key for the last time, then clapped her hands with a pleased smile spreading across her face.

Beside her, Xiao Yi also wiped the non-existent sweat from its forehead. Being able to subdue that White Hat in such a short time, it had definitely made a great contribution.

After the brief skirmish, Liu Tingruo realized that the guy’s cybersecurity skills were no less than hers, even possessing an aura that faintly pressed down on her own.

However, perhaps because it was a private job or due to overconfidence, the guy’s equipment seemed to struggle to keep up with his level of operation.

So, she decided to employ a somewhat bold strategy: let Xiao Yi hold that guy off while she launched a surprise attack on his physical body to see if she could directly destroy his equipment.

If you can’t solve the problem, then solve the person causing the problem.

Luckily, just as she had predicted, that guy indeed just used his watch and Prosthetic Eye along with a few simple peripherals to start tracking her.

Thus, Liu Tingruo took advantage of the time Xiao Yi kept him busy to intercept his IP address and overload his Prosthetic Eye with information.

Now...

The Prosthetic Eye was probably about to burn out.

”Nicely done, little thing.” Liu Tingruo patted Xiao Yi’s large head with a beaming smile, feeling very comfortable.

Having dealt with the opponent’s physical body, the infiltration on Jiang Shu’s side had just gotten easier. This was definitely a profitable move.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yi lay on the coffee table, endlessly spinning its little cooling fan, looking completely drained.

Why did it, a little Tablet Spirit, have to do such dangerous work?

It was nearly pushed to its limit! It was no expert; how could Ruo Ma dare to entrust it with such an important task?

It flipped over, screen facing upward, displaying a bullet-screen message.

Yi: But his desperate attack did cause half of the IP addresses to be leaked.

”Hmm? To what extent?” Liu Tingruo blinked and inquired.

Yi: The other party probably knows... that Jiang Shu and the others are in the C3 sector of the Thirteen District.

”Oh, that’s nothing.” Liu Tingruo shrugged, ”That area is still too large; even if the police had this information, they wouldn’t be able to find them.”

Xiao Yi nodded, which was also why it wasn’t too panicked.

In terms of a concept from a previous era, the other party only knew roughly the ”City Level” range. There was still a long way to go before finding Jiang Shu and the others.

At this moment, the sound of water gushing from the faucet came from the kitchen. Liu Tingruo and Xiao Yi simultaneously turned their heads to look in that direction.

”Pft pft pft—” The water from the faucet struggled to come out, sounding like spitting saliva, but it quickly turned into a torrential diarrhea-like flow, quickly filling up the entire sink.

The body of the Mermaid Mother emerged from this pool of water.

After completing her intimidation task, she had nothing else to do. Since she had taken the water route, she was quite fast, having already rushed back from the Thirteen District to the Seventh District.

The first thing the Mermaid Mother did after getting home was to open the fridge, then she tore off the skin of her tentacles, revealing the bulging storage bag inside.

Seeing the convenient food items inside the storage bag, a delighted expression returned to her face, the very picture of triumphantly returning with spoils.

She then pulled open the fridge’s chilling compartment and started putting the boxes of convenient food inside one by one, using both hands and three or four tentacles to help, working methodically.

From time to time, she would free up a hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead.

Seeing this scene in the living room, Liu Tingruo couldn’t help but have a thought arise in her heart.

This creature is really cute.

Really cute.

There was an inexplicable urge to squish it.

”Mermaid Mother, what are you doing?” After watching for a while, Liu Tingruo finally spoke, ”What’s in the box?”

The Mermaid Mother turned her head, pointed at the box, and made an eating gesture, ”Mmm!”

”Eating?” Liu Tingruo understood what the Mermaid Mother meant, which was in line with her expectations. So, she stood up and walked towards the Mermaid Mother.

”Mmm!” The Mermaid Mother nodded, at the same time handing the box she was holding to Liu Tingruo.

”Let me see, this... is customized convenience food?” Liu Tingruo seemed to deduce something from the information on the box, furrowing her brows slightly, ”Who would bother customizing something like this when you could spend the money to have fresh food made?”

The Mermaid Mother apparently didn’t understand what Liu Tingruo was saying, tilting her head in confusion with a puzzled ”Mmm.”

Liu Tingruo, who always checked the origin of unknown items, waved towards Xiao Ba, who flew over. Understanding Liu Tingruo’s intention, it activated the scanner and methodically swept over all the food brought back by the Mermaid Mother.

There were no tracking devices or anything like that mixed in, and as for poison...

There should be none.

Liu Tingruo made her judgment, then looked again at the adorable octopus Mermaid in front of her.

There and then, the Mermaid Mother was immersed in her diligent work, her face beaming with happiness, her eyes shiny, and her light golden hair emitting a warm luster in the sunlight.

Even though she emerged from the water, her upper body remained dry without a trace of moisture.
